Access to emergency showers and eyewashes is part of the site-specific emergency response and medical first-aid programs, and is unrelated to sanitation or decontamination. Requirements for the availability and location of emergency showers and eyewashes are specified under 29 CFR 1910.151. 

The hazardous waste standard requires employers to make certain that when showers are a necessary step in the decontamination process, their employees shower at the end of their work shift and when leaving the hazardous waste site. Sanitation-related showers (unlike decontamination showers) are understood to be voluntary. Decontamination and emergency showers should be located close to the worksite. Sanitary showers may be located at some distance from the worksite. A statement in the safety plan encouraging good personal hygiene and daily showers is a good idea. In addition, workers should be encouraged to shower daily even if no shower is available at the worksite. 

Where concentrated alkali and/or acids are stored and used on-site as part of the treatment process, care should be exercised to prevent misuse, fire, and security and health hazards. The provision of emergency showers, eyewash stations, etc. needs careful consideration.

Fire in clothing Smother the fire by blanket or heavy toweling. The use of emergency shower is also recommended. 

Safety requires you to think in advance about what you will do never do anything that seems dangerous. Know how to use safety equipment such as goggles, fume hood, lab coat, gloves, emergency shower, eyewash, and fire extinguisher. Chemicals should be stored and used in a manner that minimizes contact of solids, liquids, and vapors with people. Environmentally acceptable disposal procedures should be established in advance for every chemical that you use. Your lab notebook tells what you did and what you observed it should be understandable to other people. It also should allow you to repeat an experiment in the same manner in the future. You should understand the principles of operation of electronic and mechanical balances and treat them as delicate equipment. Buoyancy corrections are required in accurate work. Burets should be read in a reproducible manner and drained slowly for best results. Always interpolate between markings to obtain accuracy one deci-...

Plant safety rules should require that any leak in storage cylinders or application equipment be attended by at least two persons wearing self-contained breathing apparatus. Emergency shower and eye wash facilities should be provided adjacent to entry doors into chlorine storage or application facility. 

Owing to the poor warning properties of the gas to the human senses, automatic continuous monitors equipped with alarm systems are recommended [36,1486,1893], and a detailed specification for such devices has been provided [1484]. Skin and eye contact with phosgene should be avoided, but contaminated clothing should be removed immediately and decontamination effected by washing. Emergency showers should be provided [1893] in any facility in which phosgene is stored, used or manufactured.

For more than 35 years, the ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 standard on emergency eyewash and shower equipment has been the authoritative document for equipment manufacturers, users, specifiers, installers and regulators. This standard specifies minimum performance criteria for flow rates, temperature, and drenching patterns of emergency showers, eyewash equipment, combination units and drench hosts — all characteristics that are important for a user to receive adequate rinsing of a contaminant in an emergency situation.
